• Education: Celaá will put 500,000 laptops and tablets on loan for 6% of the students

The Minister of Education of the Community of Madrid, Enrique Ossorio, has requested by letter to the Minister of the branch, Isabel Celaá, not to discriminate against the schools arranged in the distribution of half a million computers and tablets with internet access. The central government intends to mobilize up to 260 million euros in this loan program, 70 of which would be provided by the communities that participate in it.

"We must not forget that all publicly funded centers, whether publicly or privately owned, educate vulnerable students, with identical limitations in terms of access to devices or connectivity that prevent them from furthering their learning both from home like in school ", Ossorio maintains in his writing.

In his opinion, leaving aside one of the teaching modalities in this type of distribution of material implies going against the Organic Education Law, which indicates that access to it must be done "without exclusions , thus accentuating the complementary nature of both school networks, although without losing their uniqueness ".

Furthermore, it considers that "excluding vulnerable students from the Digital Education program" means "limiting their right to access educational content that is adequate and tailored to their needs only by attending a concerted center, even if it is publicly financed like the centers of public ownership. "

"I am sure that the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training will reconsider this decision, which may have been the result of a misinterpretation of the content of the aforementioned agreement, and you will allow us to jointly supply devices to students with difficulties accessing the technologies they are studying. in centers supported with public funds, "concludes Ossorio.

The money promised by the Ministry of Education only gives to provide 6% of the students . Celaá itself has recognized that there are 15% of schoolchildren who have not had access to online education during the confinement decreed by the coronavirus crisis.
